The game is a 3d shooter with the elements of the quest, the action of which takes place on a secret military base called Area 51. You are a military scientist physicist, after another vacation came to the base to participate in an experiment that will allow, as it seemed, to change forever the world of people for the better . The experiment was to confirm the theory of the instantaneous transfer of a person to other worlds through a portal, which would allow all mankind to populate and master other planets, moving between them without any problems using special built portals. During the experiment, mistakes were made for which you will have to pay, we are clearly not ready for this.
